Turkey reinstates over 6,000 teachers suspended after coup

Posted: 25 Nov 2016 08:59 AM PST

Some 11,500 teachers suspected of links to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) were suspended in Turkey in September aloneTurkish authorities have reinstated over 6,000 teachers suspended after the July failed coup accused of terror links, the education ministry said on Friday. Tens of thousands of teachers were suspended or sacked over links to Kurdish militants and coup plotters since July 15 when a rogue faction tried to oust President Recep Tayyip Erdogan from power. Ankara accuses the US-based Islamic preacher Fethullah Gulen and his movement -- which funds many schools across the world -- of masterminding the attempted putsch, but he strongly denies any involvement.
